Ken - Thanks a lot for your reply. I have some problem in finding the right spot to put DLs outdoors, I have a terrace that faces east but that's my cats' realm, and cats won't leave any plants alone. The little garden is at the entrance of the house, and it faces west. I can put DLs near the walls and 80% of times when it rains they will be covered from a little roof (I am at the ground floor, and at the second floor there's another apartment so roof is high). But when rains are strong everything gets wet, sometimes water get into the house from windows. Sun hits the garden for very few hours and not until middle noon.
As for freeze, the last two years winters were mild but until two years ago we were used to get freeze (14 - 23 F) from december to february. Weather has got crazy here, I don't know what to expect for next winter.
I'm pondering on what to do, apart from the crazy cat I know sometimes other cats go around at night because I hear catfights. Apart from that no other critters are around. maybe I can put them out now, and if winter will be hard I'll buy a little movable cold frame.
Could it be an idea?
